Getting older and slower!
We call that our "pie ride", ride your age the week of your birthday, and then treat yourself to whatever kind of pie you want. But it gets harder as the years roll up, I did my 69 in September.

Love it and congrats! Last April I rode my age (48) and I like the idea of a "pie" ride or maybe CUPCAKE ride!
